I'd say it depends on the subject. If you know your content well, then you don't need a tutor. You might benefit from a tutor in English though to get ideas flowing... I know that I'd hate having an English tutor, but it seems to help a lot of people.

By the way things look you are struggling with English (Look at my english SS, I was too). So I would recomend getting a English tutor because you could end up aiming for say 36 in English.

If I knew you could get a tutor for $25 per week (I thought it was like $50 - $60 per hour) I would have got a tutor.

I only ever had a tutor for year 11 English and it helped a lot. Start of that year I was averaging C's with one D+. After tutoring, my average went up to about a B+ with a couple of A+'s in essays and a B for my year 11 exam. Though I didn't use my tutor in year 12, what they taught me helped a lot and my overall marks for English were A's for SACs and a B+ for the exam giving me 35. Without the tutor, I possibly could've been looking at a sub 30 score which I wouldn't have been happy about
Religion and Society (38), IT - Software Development (45) English (35), Chemistry (49), Methods CAS (48), Specialist Maths (50)

This, for me lol. I know I shouldn't be relying too heavily on my tutor but often when I'm hard pressed to form my own opinion on something, my tutor will ask me certain questions to try and help me out, and share her ideas if I'm really stumped.

Obviously it isn't good to let/expect your tutor to spoon feed you and I know people whose reasons for dropping their tutors in year 12 were because they "became too reliant on them" and they felt that "it's better to learn things yourself instead of expecting everything handed to you." You can definitely go well without a tutor but if you're seriously struggling with a subject/your school teacher is totally incompetent and you haven't learnt anything from them, get a tutor.

Some can, but it really depends on the teacher.
If you are motivated enough to write heaps of essays, then you can probably do without a tutor :P
